Examples of speeches a Simple Way to Be Happy

Diana Yusupova

Happiness... It seems to sound very sweet and delight. Now think for a little. What is meant by happiness? Perhaps it is the goal of all people to live a happy life. The idea of a happy life differs from man to man. They have different opinions about happiness. But one thing is common to everyone – no one is perfectly happy – either a king or a president, either rich or poor. Happiness isn't free. You have to earn it. But the best kind of happiness is when you know that you are able to care for someone and that someone cares about you. Many people think that “if only I have got this and that, then I will be happy, then I can start enjoying my life”. However, once they achieve that goal, the next desire manifests. And of course there is no end to human desires.

Being content with what you have is one of the best ways to achieve happiness in our lives.

No matter how bad your condition might be, there are still many things which are great for you.

Just do not wait another day for your life to start some day, one day.

You are happy today, because you are free and alive today!

Thus, there is a very simple way of being happy. You should follow the motto 'Plain living and high-thinking'. It means that health of body and peace of mind are necessary for living a happy life.

Superpowers

Svetlana Korobova

Everybody watches films about superheroes who save the world with the help of their superpowers. But can ordinary people have such a power? Actually yes. There are 6 of them. Some of them are on the genetic level, but others can be developed.

The first one is a super memory. This type of a superpower has another name – photographic memory. People who have such a superpower can remember all details even if they have seen those ones only once.

The second one is an absolute hearing. A person with this type of superpower can hear tones, classifying and remembering them.

The third one is a light perception. It deals with a case when people see the world in a red, blue and green spectrum. By the way, there were only two men who saw the world in such a way.

The next is an echolocation. This superpower mostly belongs to blind people. They use sound for orientation in space.

The most interesting superpower is a genetic chimerism. This ability is on the genetic level. People with it can have 3 legs, 2 DNA in one body, etc.

And the last one is a super taste. People with such ability can differentiate each ingredient among one dish.

So, according to this information each of us can have a superpower. And what about you? Do you have any?

The Great Dictator

Taisiya Kovalenko

"I'm sorry, but I don't want to be an emperor. That's not my business. I don't want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone if possible – Jew, Gentile – black man – white.

We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other's happiness – not by each other's misery. We don't want to hate and despise one another. In this world there's room for everyone and the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone.

The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way. Greed has poisoned men's souls – has barricaded the world with hate – has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical; our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost.

The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together. The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in man – cries for universal brotherhood – for the unity of us all. Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world – millions of despairing men, women, and little children – victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people. To those who can hear me, I say: 'Do not despair.' The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed – the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.

Soldiers! Don't give yourselves to brutes – men who despise you and enslave you - who regiment your lives – tell you what to do – what to think and what to feel! Who drill you – diet you - treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder. Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men - machine men with machine minds and machine hearts! You are not machines! You are not cattle! You are men! You have the love of humanity in your hearts. You don't hate, only the unloved hate - the unloved and the unnatural!

Soldiers! Don't fight for slavery! Fight for liberty! In the seventeenth chapter of St Luke, it is written the kingdom of God is within man not one man nor a group of men, but in all men! In you! You, the people, have the power – the power to create machines. The power to create happiness! You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful – to make this life a wonderful adventure. Then in the name of democracy – let us use that power – let us all unite. Let us fight for a new world – a decent world that will give men a chance to work – that will give youth a future and old age a security.

By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power. But they lie! They do not fulfil that promise. They never will! Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people. Now let us fight to fulfil that promise! Let us fight to free the world - to do away with national barriers - to do away with greed, with hate and intolerance. Let us fight for a world of reason - a world where science and progress will lead to all men's happiness. Soldiers, in the name of democracy, let us unite!"
